1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the impact of a standardized antibiotic stewardship protocol on three subsequent endpoints in patients undergoing urethroplasty. Methods: Men undergoing bulbar substitution urethroplasty between January 2009 and December 2016 were stratified by urine culture (UCx) at the time of surgery (sterile Results: Of 374 men, 235 (63%) had a sterile and 139 (37%) a non-sterile culture at the time of surgery. The proportion of sterile cultures at the time of surgery (63%) was significantly improved to 82% 2 days postoperatively ( Conclusion: A standardized protocol such as the one introduced improves antibiotic stewardship through frequent testing and culture-specific treatment. This is crucial in avoiding unnecessary antimicrobial treatment, and reducing infectious events and adverse effects of a positive UCx on long-term stricture recurrence.
